Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 952 - 941: The Villain Mom’s Child

Recently, Xia Shian hasn’t been doing well; ever since moving back to her mother-in-law’s place, she has felt uncomfortable.

It’s not just because her mother-in-law isn’t as close to her as before, but also because her husband has been busy since returning, leaving her with no one to confide in. She wanted to go out for a cup of tea with her good friend Han Jie when her mother-in-law wasn’t picking at her, but then she found out that Han Jie has been in frequent contact with Ye Ran lately, and has even reached a cooperative agreement with Ye Ran’s husband, Huo Xian.

Xia Shian couldn’t help but think of conspiracy—could Ye Ran and Huo Xian really be so kind as to help Han Jie? She found it hard to believe; as a friend, she felt she should remind Han Jie, so she directly went to her company to find her.

After hearing Xia Shian’s warning, Han Jie confidently smiled, "Don’t worry, Ye Ran wouldn’t dare to play tricks."

"You don’t understand, my cousin really isn’t the same as before; she’s very calculating now, even my mother-in-law is spun around by her. Han Jie, there are other capable people besides Huo Xian, why do you have to cooperate with him?"

"Because he is the best venture capitalist I know." Han Jie had a look of determination.

She waved her hand to stop Xia Shian’s hesitant expression. "Shian, I know you mean well, I appreciate it, but Huo Xian is the best choice for my company to go public and raise stock prices. I won’t give up easily, and rest assured, this company is my life’s work. If I wasn’t confident enough, I wouldn’t do this."

Xia Shian truly couldn’t understand why Ye Ran and her husband would be at Han Jie’s disposal, unless...

Her eyes flashed with insight, unless Han Jie had something on Ye Ran.

"Do you have something on her?" That’s what she thought, so that’s what she directly asked.

"Yes." Han Jie also directly admitted.

"What is it?" Xia Shian asked with some tension and a mix of other indescribable emotions.

This time, however, Han Jie shook her head, "Sorry, Shian, this is a deal, I can’t say right now."

Xia Shian’s eyes flickered, understanding the implication in Han Jie’s words—if not now, then maybe later? And for some reason, she found herself feeling a bit expectant.

She quickly lowered her head, feeling ashamed of her thoughts, then pursed her lips. She wasn’t wrong; she only wanted to protect her happiness and family harmony. As long as her cousin agreed to leave here, and promised not to pursue Zixing, once Han Jie told her, she wouldn’t spread the word.

Feeling like she had obtained leverage over Ye Ran, Xia Shian’s mood improved significantly, but upon returning home and seeing her worried husband, her heart sank again.

"What’s wrong? Did something happen at the company?" She asked him softly while sitting next to him.

Shen Zixing sighed heavily, "Do you remember that day when Mom asked me to discuss the cooperation with He Pengcheng?"

"I remember, but Pengcheng has been cooperating with our company for years now, are there any problems?" Xia Shian held her husband’s hand.

"Yes, the price they offered this time is too high. If I sign the contract at this price, we won’t make any money and will have to bear a lot of risk."

Xia Shian sensed something unusual, "Are they planning to sign with another company?"

"Yes, when I left their company, I happened to run into people from Wuhe Group. The leader even gave me a mocking smile, like they were watching a joke." Shen Zixing’s eyes burned with rage, "They must have already reached an agreement with Pengcheng Group; Pengcheng Group is just stringing me along."

"Don’t worry." Xia Shian felt heartbroken seeing her husband like this, "We surely have other ways."

"But the director of Pengcheng is too stubborn, just keeps brushing me off." Shen Zixing said dispiritedly.

"Then we tackle it from another angle. If he doesn’t say, what if his family does?" Xia Shian hinted.

Shen Zixing thought of the things his wife had done before. Coincidentally, whenever a contract was about to fall through, his wife always found channels to reach the family of the collaborators, and eventually all difficulties were solved.

He attributed all these successes to his wife’s unique personal charm, and now was full of hope, looking at Xia Shian with anticipation.

"Can it really work?"

"It definitely can." Xia Shian nodded firmly, although she currently didn’t know Pengcheng’s family, she believed she could succeed.

Xia Shian wasn’t blindly confident; the events of previous years gave her hope. Whenever the company encountered problems, she always somehow found the key people to resolve them.

She believed in her luck, and also believed that heaven would favor her, so she promised her husband.

"Zixing, if it worked before, it surely will this time."

"Then I’ll wait for your good news. Dad said if I clinch this deal, he’ll step down as chairman and let me take over, and he and Mom will take Grandma back to the old hometown."

Hearing this news from her husband, Xia Shian was even more determined to succeed no matter what—it’s not that she wasn’t filial, but she truly didn’t want to continue living with her mother-in-law; if she stayed longer, she felt she would get depression.

Moreover, if her mother-in-law went back to the old hometown, wouldn’t it be harder for her to be manipulated by her cousin?

If her cousin wanted to use her mother-in-law, she would have to go to the old hometown too; that way she would be separated from Zixing. If she still stayed in the capital, given Zixing’s love for her, there’s absolutely no way he would accept her cousin—without her mother-in-law’s interference, what chance does her cousin have?

So this time, no matter what, she needed to reach Pengcheng’s family and make this deal happen!

However, Xia Shian didn’t know that this time Wuhe grabbed the contract originally belonging to Shen Family because Ye Ran helped from behind the scenes.

Nonetheless, Ye Ran’s goal was merely to hurt Shen Family’s business, not to regain Shen Zixing as Xia Shian imagined. After all, not everyone is as blind as her—with a better option like Huo Xian, why go for Shen Zixing? Does she really think he’s some hot commodity?

Also, Ye Ran wasn’t a masochist; she’d be crazy to abandon the loving Huo Xian for Shen Zixing.

What Xia Shian couldn’t foresee was that Ye Ran was no longer the ten fools and flower vase from before; her return now was for revenge, not stealing men.

But that’s how Xia Shian is—she always uses her fixed mindset to think about others, assuming everyone remains unchanged as she imagines. Perhaps even she does not realize that ever since Ye Ran returned, she herself has changed.

She became more sensitive and suspicious, and more inclined to interpret others with malice.
